I have installed both uBlock Origin and NoScript in Firefox. Does it make sense to use both at the same time? I was wondering whether or not uBlock Origin is able to do everything that NoScript does. If not, what does NoScript have that uBlock Origin does not?

If you want something like NoScript, the creator of uBlock as another most excellent extension called uMatrix, which offers a dizzying level of granularity!

It may be available but there is no more development and GitHub repo has been archived in 2021. I believe it was because you could do what uMatrix does with ublock but I can't find Gorhill statement from back then.

I didn't know, unfortunate!

I used to use uMatrix, but stopped using it because it was discontinued. It might still work, but it stopped getting updated because the dev wanted to focus on uBlock.

Damn I never noticed, as it's been working just fine.. Gotta switch fully to uBlock then
